This album is just a big happy fun ball. Go Norah! Amazon wrote: One of the freshest country albums of the year comes not out of Nashville, but rather New York, from a sporadic band with the unlikely (and somewhat suggestive) moniker of the Little Willies. Throughout, the record maintains the slightly inebriated, bar-band feel of a live club performance, especially on "Lou Reed," a very funny saga of a cow-tipping incident possibly involving the dark rocker. This is an extraordinary record, not only for its musicianship, but for the infectious joy and exuberance of performers who remember just how fun it is to play music from the inside out.
It's probably better if you didn't expect it, but now that I've spoiled that aspect of it, you've got to check out "Lou Reed." NB: The iTunes version of the album features two exclusive tracks. |
